Event
Description
Fr. Don Piraro leads the Spiritual Book Club, an informal group of women and men who read a good spiritual book and come together to eat supper and to discuss the selection. The fall selection is The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, A Spirituality for Real Life by Father James Martin, SJ. Fr. Martin is the culture editor of America magazine and the author of My Life with the Saints, the most popular book we ever read at Spiritual Book Club. The Jesuits have directed and preached retreats across South Louisiana for about seventy-five years. One of the results of this is the popularity of Ignatian Spirituality. This book explains it all for the lay reader with clarity and humor. Folks recommending it include such diverse people as Kathleen Norris, William Barry, SJ, Cardinal Sean O’Malley and Sr. Helen Prejean. To register, call 337-855-1232. The suggested donation of $15.00 includes supper.
